One night after the Hurricanes men's team beat No. 13 Michigan State, the women did one better with a 69-65 victory over No. 6 Penn State on Thursday.

"It's like a family, they're our brothers," Stroman said of the men's team. "They got their big win (Wednesday) and we had to do the same and pull the upset."

Suriya McGuire's layup with 14 seconds remaining broke a 65-all tie. Alex Bentley had a chance to tie it but her jumper with 5 seconds left bounced off the rim. Miami's Michelle Woods grabbed the rebound and was fouled.

Woods made both free throws with 2 seconds remaining to secure the win for Miami.

"I hadn't felt we were meeting our talent level how we were playing this season," Miami coach Katie Meier said. "This is a big moment. This is a big gap we had to close."

Maggie Lucas led the Lions (5-1) with a game-high 20 points and Bentley finished with 14 points.

"There's a lot of basketball left, it's November," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "If we're going to put our tail between our legs after one loss, that's not the character that our team has. Our team will bounce back and play better."

Woods' three-point play with 35 seconds left gave the Hurricanes a 65-62 lead. Woods finished with 11 points.
